3.3. Unpack Kardia Band (Kardia Band Users)
1. Remove Kardia Band from the box, which consists of 2 pieces – one band that attaches to the
12 oclock side of the watch body and the other band that attaches to the 6 oclock side of
the watch body. The band that attaches 6 oclock side the watch body contains the
electrodes.
2. Remove existing watchband from the Apple Watch – consult the watch user manual, if
necessary.
3. Attach the Kardia Band EKG to the Apple Watch – consult the watch user manual, if
necessary. Ensure that the band with electrode attaches to the 6 oclock side of the watch
body.
NOTE: A second (shorter) band that attaches to the 6 oclock side of the watch body is included
in the box to make sure you have the right band for your wrist size. Use the band that ensures a
tight fit of the watch so that the sensor contacts the skin. For more information on how to
attach the bands to the watch, refer to a video at
